Why certain I/O pins are pulled to LOW during POF programming for Intel® MAX® 10 devices with U324 package ?

Environment

    Intel® Quartus® Prime Standard Edition
BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Description

In Intel® MAX® 10 devices with package U324, some of the I/O pins are getting pulled to GND after the speed mode SOF file is being configured into the device.

User will observes that certain I/Os are being pulled to LOW instead of being tri-stated during POF file programming into the internal flash using Intel® Quartus® Prime Programmer.

This is due to the speed mode SOF file is not compatible with the new Ordering Part Number (OPN).

Resolution

User can apply a patch (for Intel® Quartus® Prime 20.1 Standard Edition)  to correct the corresponding I/O state to tri-state. Alternatively, user can execute the POF file programming without speed mode selection (enabling real-time ISP in Intel® Quartus® Prime Programmer).
